Its time to celebrate Pongal festival to convey appreciation and thankfulness to God Sun(Surya Bhagavaan) as he acts as a primary energy for good harvest. It's the time to thank mother nature for giving the season to harvest rice, cereals, sugarcane and turmeric. Its time to decorate the houses with mango leaves and banana leaves, embellish the floor with beautiful rangoli. It time to cook the pongal in the earthen pot and say "Pongal-O-Pongal".

Hearty Pongal Wishes to all ezcookbook Viewers......

I recently came across this Karumbu chaaru pongal in AVAL KITCHEN magazine for pongal special. Immediately wanted to try for this pongal since fresh sugarcane now in season. It came out well and tasted too good. This seems to be more healthy with exclusion of refined sugar.
